Greetings from San Francisco! Welcome to BYC... Lots to learn and share here have fun.

I'm using a mix of Timothy and Alfalfa Hay. The chicks love to scratch and peck at the seed heads and it goes straight into the compost box when I clean out the brooder, which is a 36" kiddie pool with walls and chicken wire up top to support the UVA/B ZooMed 5.0 bulb and it also makes sure that...
